Lizzo: “No catchphrases this summer? The fault of the algorithm”

Not only in Italy, where the huge amount of summer songs has finished in fact to saturate the market with the consequence that of the many songs designed for the summer, no one has managed to stand out on the others: even abroad, this year, the catchphrase was missing. And among the international pop stars there are those who have tried to understand the reasons for this phenomenon. By contacting his fans on social media, the rapper icon of the body positivity, as the born movement is called to highlight “unconventional bodies”, shared his reflection on the topic.

According to Lizzo, if the classic summer catchphrase was missing this summer, the fault lies with the algorithm:

At one time, the music industry was very algorithmic, like any other industry, but was controlled up to a certain point. Now that we are in the digital streaming era, there is no control over the algorithm, and this is stressing people very much. I understood me.

Lizzo’s reflection continued as follows:

Every great artist, apart from Beyoncé, has published music this year, or intends to do it this year. I myself have just published the deluxe version of my mixtape today. Still, there are still people who don’t even know that I have published music. Every great artist, from Lady Gaga to Drake, has released an album this year, yet everyone says that there is no summer song. I will be completely honest with you. It is not because music is not incredible. It is because, as the algorithm is structured, nobody can serve the masses anymore.
